Any rifle I live long enough to shoot the barrel out of will bring a massive grin... how are you gonna lose?
It's like the time I was drift fishing [light tackle] in the Chesapeake bay with some pals. Hooked onto a 25 pound stingray --- there were acres and acres of them around --- and did he make my drag sing! After about 100 yards of line my buddy reached over to tighten my drag. "Un-uh", I said, "leave it". "He'll take all you got or burn the reel!" he said. "Then she's had a good life, leave it alone!" says I.
I had never had a fish run me dry before, and the prospect was wonderful...
Eventually boated the stingray, and it was fun ... still fish with the reel today.
Shoot the rifle and feel lucky.
